The TMG-UG meetings are held at the Southern California Genealogical Society Family Research Library in Burbank. The SCGS TMG User Group meets monthly on the afternoon of the first Saturday of the month with the exception of holiday weekends and dates of special SCGS events. Please check the SCGS calendar for updates.

Our meeting format generally consists of a meet-and-greet period, questions from new attendees, a question-and-answer session, and a presentation, usually given by Patt Ricketts, SCGS member and TMG user since 1997.

The TMG User Group is an interest group of the Southern California Genealogical Society. Meetings are open to the general public. There is no fee for participation. Donations are gratefully accepted.

If you are a TMG user or are thinking about moving your data to TMG, why not join us? Bring your questions about TMG functionality, importing data from other software, and “how to” with you and learn how TMG can meet all of your genealogical software needs.

$5.00 donation is suggested for attendance. Individualized help will be available after the formal presentation for those who want to order DNA tests or who have received DNA results and need help managing their personal page or interpreting their results. Brown bag or join us for pizza for an additional $5.00.

Following the regular meeting, from 2:00-4:00 p.m., those who are Family Tree DNA (FTDNA) Project Administrators or Project Co-administrators are invited to remain to discuss how they are managing group projects. The Roundtable format allows people to share expertise and create solutions to issues.

On June 30, 1922, the Public Records Office of Ireland, located at the historic Four Courts in Dublin, caught fire during the Irish Civil War. Tragically a considerable amount of Irish records were destroyed.
The fire has had lasting effects – still felt today – as Irish family history requires a unique approach to research than other heritages.

To commemorate this anniversary and encourage exploration of Irish genealogy, findmypast.com will offer its full collection of Irish Birth, Marriage and Death indexes free of charge from June 27 to June 30. Anyone searching for their Irish ancestors can access the full Irish record collection by registering for free at findmypast.com.

Despite a great loss of records in the historic fire, there are still many opportunities to discover Irish heritage, with countless fascinating stories to be found from the records that survived.

We will also preview Jerry Domier's "RootsMagic 6 for Beginners"
demonstration to be presented at our July meeting. If you haven't
been preempted by Father's Day events, please join us for this
meeting.

As always, we encourage you to bring your questions, discoveries, or
suggestions for topics to be discussed at this or a future meeting.

The SCGS RootsMagic User Group meets on the third Sunday of each month. We recommend that you check the calendar at http://calendar.scgsgenealogy.com/ for any changes to the User Group meeting schedule.
